Career Development Fellowships in the National Technology Centre Programme 
“Career-FIT” is a trans-national scheme launched in 2018 and co-funded by Enterprise Ireland and the European Union, that offers an opportunity for experienced researchers worldwide to develop their careers in market-focused applied research in Ireland’s Technology Centres.
The programme aims to enhance the training and mobility of 50 Experienced Researchers (following two competitive calls) through the undertaking of individually-driven research training programmes, which will be interdisciplinary and focused on the domain areas of 5 designated Technology Centres operating in Ireland.
Each Centre offers excellent facilities and equipment for Fellows to use, and each Fellow’s progression is monitored by an experienced Centre Mentor with additional support from a Professional Development Advisor.
The research period will be 36 months in a Centre where the Fellows have not resided or carried out their main activity in Ireland for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to the recruitment. The Fellowship also offers an option for Fellows to take up a secondment of up to 12 months in an enterprise partner of their Host Centre. Currently, there are 350 enterprises affiliated to the Centres (approximately 100 MNCs, 200 indigenous SMEs, and 50 overseas enterprise partners).
